You should make a window! I'd watch that for sure! 🎉
I grew up in houses that had sash weighted windows. I was aware how they worked but I never knew there were special boring tools for making the pully pockets. What an interesting tool. Quite simple really. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
yep, same here, my dad renovated an old house one time to flip, and it had the old weighted windows. also never knew there was a special drill for that.
I saw one of these at a barn sale 20 or so years ago asking $10. Checked it out, decided to get it then layed it down. Came back 5 minutes later and watched a guy pick it up, examine it, eureka moment followed by a little smile and off he went with my treasure, my precioussssss.
I never saw one again until you show up. You look a lot like him as well. Could it be!!!? 😢
Window installer here. I love the history, and it's great to know how to do things without power. So glad we've moved past it though. Building one traditional wood window takes the same amount of time as ripping out 20 and installing new vinyl ones. I wouldn't go back if you paid me.
Meanwhile I restore wood windows for a living. Come over to the light side and step away from the vinyl. Much more rewarding to repair a 150 year old window
The art of engineering reaches its epitome when you stop asking yourself not, what more can I add but...
... What more can I take away?
I refuse to give up my wooden windows. They can be repaired and rebuilt, forever, for almost nothing. It's not worth a mortgage to replace them with something that has to be completely replaced whenever a baseball goes through it. I'd love to put pulley sashes in and make them double hung. These tools are awesome! I love that post drill. You won't need electrics in your shop with equipment like that.
Yep, love to see in person
That is a cool old tool never seen one before
Pretty cool. I just made my 1st trip to Colonial Homestead and was fortunate to have a local expert guide me through buying a Frey brace and auger bit kit; tool wrap and file included! He also educated me about the other styles of bits like in your medieval torture device, but had to save for another trip.
what a remarkable find and amazing tool. Great job on the resto. That was fun for me too.
I think it's truly amazing how tools used to be practically works of art. They had a certain beauty and character AND were very purpose built. I admit I use modern ones but they sometimes seem soulless things, unlike the tools of yore ...
Yet another interesting video, who knew how it was done!
Fantastic work, James! 😃
Really interesting tool! But all I could think of is to build some kind of toy or game with the pulley! 😂
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
My parent's home and the first house I owned both had double-hung windows with wooden frames and sashes. I've never built one, but I've refinished many - and never thought about how those mortises were made. Very interesting video, James. Thank you for sharing.
I had the old single glazed windows in my first house replaced after I moved in and got fed up with the draught and the rattling. The window in the back bedroom still had the sash boxes which the window guys found. Apparently it's a very common thing to find in old Victorian terraced houses, even ones that no longer have the sash windows.
Just so you know, any window that operates has a sash. It's not a wood or era specific term. The most common windows are single and double hungs. Singles have 1 moving sash, and with doubles both move. Bays, bowes, sliders, garden windows, all have sashes. Only 1 type doesn't, and that's picture windows. They're basically 1 big sash.
You should do a series of videos going over making the window and how to rig it up to the weights. That could be very helpful for people trying to restore their own old windows.
In the meantime, the book “Working Windows” by Terry Meany is an excellent resource for weights and ropes/chains.

Very neat subject for this recent YT Video!! Keep up the good work My Friend!! See ya again soon!!
Thanks for the deep dive!
5:25 maybe a cork gasket in the middle, sandwiched?
Great video James sir
I also expected many more parts inside, sometimes the elegance is it the simplicity!
That is awesome. Also, I love a good restoration video. It’s become as much of a hobby to me as woodworking. Picked up 3 things this weekend including a licensed Phillips screwdriver. Not valuable stuff, just interesting.
I will say that I stopped using a wire wheel on a bench grinder and use them on my drill press. The lower speed lets me take my time and not worry about tearing down to bare metal. Also it means I can hit my fingers and it’s just uncomfortable. I did almost take off a thumbnail on the bench grinder one time 😢. Also the thinner wheel lets me get in nooks and crannies better. I don’t know if this is true, but I feel like it does a better job getting into lettering and such.
Sometimes I intentionally use evaporust to get that carbon coating even when it isn’t really necessary. But usually I just use a wire wheel and only throw in the bucket when there’s deeper rust after that… also reduce the rust it has to capture in those cases to save money. Then I wash or brush that carbon film off and wax, oil, paint, or whatever.
That's a cool tool for sure!
"Maybe I should make a window" LOL
I learned in junior high school, "Gears Get Grease".
That's a cool tool, elegant design too.
Interesting they put the effort in so it inly assembles ine way
And you have a new house that you can install said window in! :)
My house had them when I first moved in. They worked pretty good. Think mine worked with springs or something?
Interesting video of an old tool from an earlier era of window manufacturing.
Simple Design? Sounds perfect for a simple hand tool wood worker like you :)
Window weights were one of the earliest forms of home protection giving the intruder a serious headache
Another fun restoration project.
interesting! we have remove so many of those pullies!
Thanks for sharing that!
Makes you want to think of a project (other than a window) to use it 😅
Thanks James
Great job. Thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing.
Fascinating! Thanks!
Did you notice how at least one, maybe all of the bits weren't turning true and wobbled a little? I wonder if it was designed to run that way or if it happened over time and use or if it was just machined crudely in that area because it wasn't considered important for the job it was meant for. It's really interesting.
I see pane in your future! LOL Sash a cool thing!
Great video! Thanks!!!
Interesting tool 🤔.
Fun!

Interesting
Could you add a grease zerk to that?

CDB!
Would this device have been used in a powered drill press?
Maybe a line shaft driven one. This was made over 120 years ago before modern drill presses.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Very cool mortising device. Thanks for showing it off.
Please optical spuar make

Your boring videos are quite entertaining
😂
TIL

Don’t drill a hole you can’t climb out of. The window project promise I mean.
You need a thread file!
I have two sets of them.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo in that case, you need to USE your thread files 😉
First
Congrats!
Are you implying that Polly is boring? She is nothing but....
tri-boring
Those sliding windows you got from the English are so over complicated, sensible people use hindged windows.😝
It’s a pretty cool tool, but there’s a reason we don’t build windows that way anymore. I wouldn’t recommend it.
NO STEEL WIRE WHEELS PLEASE, AND FILES ARE NOT TO BE USED TO “SHARPEN”, YOURE GRINDING OFF THE FACES NOT SHARPENING THE EDGE OF THE BLADE.
The original instructions on augers say to use a file. As a matter of fact they make a whole list of auger files for sharpening them. A soft wire wheel is a great way to take off years of Gunk without hurting the patina of the steel underneath. It's one of the softest simplest ways to do a deep clean.
@WoodByWrightHowTo hey there. Ya know, back then, guys like my grandfather would add functionality to tools like that, not unlike the "mod'ers" of today.
I'm guessing that, instead of the long stop-rod jutting out, he would have put a 90° bend in it a few inches out and straight down, if he had it on-site which would be the case most of the time in his case. He'd be close to 110 if he was still around....wow. He built a lot of houses in the area here that are still standing very well. ~Acadian Peninsula 🇨🇦.
Thanks for sharing this. I've inherited a lot of antique Tools, and I really like them. Up into the mid 80's A lot of guys around here still used a manual hand-drill if they were up in the rafters, when building a house. It was easier than bringing those heavy metal-housed corded drills (which I have a few of as well)
If you're looking for a specific antique tool you can't find, hit me up, and I'll take a look for it.
Thanks again.
the original one would have the stop rod hit the post drill and there would be a foot off the post drill to adjust the position. i do not have that part and they are almost always missing. I have seen one once. some day I will find one.
